Yes, they were here, even though sometimes it feels like a dream.

Looking back, here is what I wanted to say to that sweet boy in the grocery store:

I don’t have kids, but I wish more than anything that I did. Your Mom is SO very lucky.

How beautiful life would be if we had answers to our questions?

How beautiful life would be if this Mother’s Day, my boys were in my arms and not just in my heart.

One can dream.

So beautifully written. I absolutely agree with your statement: I wish that every woman who wanted a child brought one home safely. I wish that every couple who dreamed of having the title of “Mom” or “Dad” was given the gift of a healthy child. I wish the horrible people in the world who abuse their kids, or simply don’t want them, were never given the gift of having a child.
